Just got my new DX and love it..Only thing is it seems to keep track of messages btwn you and your contacts. If I go to contacts and slide the screen over it has a list of recent messages (even though I deleted the txt thread from within messaging). Is there a way to clear this history as well?? Or keep it from saving it at all??

That is a great question, wish I had the answer but will check back to see what others say.

After a while this is going to really take up space if these 'histories' can not be deleted permanently.

tap and hold your finger on the person you want to delete the message with and it looks like it will delete the conversation

One workaround I just found out is sliding to the "History" page of the contacts, pull up the menu go to "Display Group" and press on "Contacts" then this will only show you the history of calls.

But it doesnt ERASE the text history, so if someone is nosey and smart (bad mix lol) they can still get into your history.

But the whole message is viewable. Tiger Woods would not approve.

Sevin can you go step by step thru what you did if you remember?

I agree trust me, I have a gf that sees a "hello" from another member of the human race with a **** and I'll be getting kicked out of a car at full speed LOL I don't need that...

if you are on the message screen where it displays all of the messages and you press the button on the left with the four squares and then go to select multiple you can delete multiple peoples text messages

You're going through the "Text Message" app not the "Contacts" App, "Contacts" Will still show your erased "Text Message" messages
